Purpose: To identify the effect of knee joint traction therapy on pain, physical function, and depression in patients with degenerative arthritis. Methods: In total, 30 patients with degenerative arthritis were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the experimental group, who underwent knee joint traction therapy, and the control group, who underwent general physical therapy (15 patients per group). Pain was measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS), physical function was measured using the Western ontario and McMaster universities osteoarthritis (WOMAC) index, and depression was measured using the Beck depression inventory (BDI). The VAS, WOMAC score, and BDI score were recorded before and after the 4-week treatment. Results: As a result of comparison within groups, the experimental and control group showed significant difference for VAS, WOMAC and BDI after the experiment (p<0.05). In comparison between the two groups, the experimental group in which knee joint traction was applied showed more significant change in VAS, WOMAC and BDI than the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study showed that knee joint traction therapy was effective in improving pain, physical function, and depression in patients with degenerative arthritis.

Purpose : The number of young patients with diabetes is on the rise, and they face challenges in managing their blood sugar levels. This study aimed to investigate the effect of physical activity on blood sugar control in young and middle-aged patients with diabetes aged 19-64 years using data from the 8th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019-2021). Methods : Blood sugar control in patients with diabetes was determined based on FBG 110 mg/㎗, and physical activity was measured using physical activity categories that considered the sum of walking, moderate intensity, and high intensity. Statistical analysis was conducted using SAS 9.4, and the Rao-Scott chi-square test was conducted to determine differences in blood sugar control based on the sociodemographic characteristics and physical activity of patients with diabetes. Complex-sample multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the effect of physical activity on blood sugar control. Results : There were statistically significant differences in blood sugar control between young and middle-aged patients with diabetes, depending on sex, age, marital status, obesity, and amount of physical activity. As a result of the complex sample simple logistic regression analysis without adjusting for variables, the non-physical activity group was found to have a higher risk of blood sugar dysregulation than the health-promoting physical activity group (OR: 2.80). Complex-sample multiple logistic regression analysis with control variables showed that the non-physical activity group had a higher risk of blood sugar dysregulation than the health-promoting physical activity group (OR: 3.70). Conclusion : Multifaceted efforts are needed to develop health intervention programs that can increase physical activity, diabetes awareness, and treatment rates, including controlling blood sugar levels and preventing complications in young and middle-aged patients with diabetes.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the effect of applying elastic taping and passive stretching exercises simultaneously on the muscle tone of the upper trapezius. METHODS: Thirty healthy adults were randomly divided into two groups: the 'passive stretching exercise' group (n = 15) and the 'passive stretching exercise with elastic taping' group (n = 15). Muscle tone was measured using the MyotonPRO®. The muscle tension was measured immediately after the stretching exercises and taping intervention, and again 5 minutes after the intervention. RESULTS: Within each group, there was a significant reduction in muscle tone in the upper trapezius after treatment (p < .05). However, there was no significant difference in the muscle tone reduction between the groups (p > .05). Both experimental and control groups showed a significant decrease in muscle tone in both the upper trapezius muscles over time, i.e., immediately after treatment and five minutes later (p < .05). The main effect of time was identified in the repeated measures analysis, while there was no main effect attributed to the treatment method (group) (p < .05). CONCLUSION: The simultaneous application of stretching exercises and taping as an intervention to reduce muscle tension in the upper trapezius is still considered challenging and not yet widely regarded as an essential intervention method.

The study was carried out to investigate the change of bacterial growth in vitro according to polarity, current intensity and time, to prepare the basic data for electrotherapy and clinical research. The Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram negative Escherichia coli 1mm infect wound were cultured in Trypticase Soy Brath and Trypticase Soy Agar. The results were as followings. 1. The current stimulated group was changed in bacterial growth according to polarity, current intensity and time respectively. 2. The bacteriolytic effect revealed in the anode but the inhibitory effect of bacterial growth revealed in the cathode. 3. The lumber of E. coli reduced after 6-hours but the numbers of S. aureus reduced after 2 hours in Trypticase Soy Brath. 4. The anode showed acid reaction and cathode showed alkaline reaction in Trypticase Soy Agar.

We have studied the effect and application of CST which is the function and disease of the autonomic nerve system based on recovery of flexibleness of the autonomic nerve. CST purpose to keep sustenance of human body by recovering joints have limitation of mobility and controlling autonomic nerve system by diminution tense of the sympathetic nerve. CST makes well flowing of CSF by pressure the fourth ventricle of the brain or relaxation of soft tissues of the base of a cranial bone. There is no result of studies about CST in Korea yet. It will bring a benefit if it prove the effect of CST in countries depend on drugs way high such as Korea. It needs positive approach and definite research for the improvement.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural relationship between eating habits, physical activity, and subjective health perception, which can affect the mental health status of adolescents, and to examine whether subjective health perception has a mediating effect in these relationships. In this study, raw data from the "17th 2021 Youth Health Behavior Online Survey" were used, and a total of 1,998 people were used for the analysis of Gangwon-do adolescents, except for data with missing values. For analysis, SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 25.0 programs were used to analyze descriptive statistics, t-test, and structural equation models(SEM). Physical activity was found to have a positive and significant effect on mental health status, and subjective health cognition showed the effect of physical activity mediating mental health status.

The purpose of this study is to find the suitable suit design of mid-aged men by examining visual effects in Physical and Psychological side aspects. I used convenience sampling by considering sex and age distribution. These methods were used to analyze data that were frequency analysis, variate analysis, centesimal scale, primary factor analysis, three primary variate analysis, duality variate analysis, equation variate analysis and Cronbach's multiplex range verification 1. Image perception of men's suit was analyzed with arrangement, numbers of button, pattern and the shape of one's body and was divided into charming, youthfulness, modernism. affection and manly. 2. 1) There are partly resemblance difference in physical visual effect by the shape of body and suit design. 2) There are partly resemblance differences in psychological visual effect by one's shape and suit design. In conclusion arrangement, number of button and Pattern are very important to give an effect on whole visual effect man's suit. Also, these were felt differently in each types of body Therefore it is confirmed that the type of body is important fluent to make people perceive.
